After a good couple of months toasting the arrival of Andoni Iraola, Liverpool fans were brought back down to earth with a terrible bump on Sunday, as their team capitulated against Leeds.Things had looked to be going from good to great for Iraola, as his team raced into a 2-0 halftime lead against the Whites, but four unanswered goals in 25 second-half minutes saw them lose badly in Chicago.To add to Iraola’s woes, Jeremie Frimpong came off during the second period with what looked like a potential injury.
